Bach Flower Remedies

The Bach Flower Remedies have played an essential role in my life. It has been a love affair for over 20 years. Just last week in the midst of an intricate, three-hour dental procedure, I used an application of Rescue Remedy a few times.

The Bach Flower Remedies book (copyrighted in 1931) should be on everyone’s bookshelf. The remedies are “dedicated to all who suffer or who are in distress.” Dr. Bach developed the remedies through his work in homeopathy. They are simply prepared with pure water, sunlight and fresh floral blossoms.

There are 38 Bach Flower Remedies for seven types of injurious emotions such as fear, loneliness, despondency, emotional imbalance and weakness. In my life I have had bouts with depression. I could have easily turned to medication. Instead I checked the Mood page of the Bach Flower Remedies, used the applicable remedy, and in a few hours hopeless feelings were converted to relief and even joy. I kid you not! To go one large step forward, when I had brain surgery after a car accident some years ago, I called on a Bach Flower specialist, Mary Ann Dittmeier, who prepared a formula that worked miraculously. I resumed my work schedule in a few days! Her expertise is invaluable. Even today I call her for more profound formulae. I invite you to read her more technical, perceptive and astute study on the subject of Bach Flower Remedies.



Bach Flowers ─ Natural Support
for All Creatures Great and Small
by Mary Ann Dittmeier

How often does one thoroughly enjoy her profession? Well, here’s one! It is such a joy to assist folks with the Bach Flowers and experience their life enhancing changes using this subtle healing method. I am proud to serve all of my clients – including spirited children, adults, animals and plants, too.

Bach® Flower Remedies are derived from plants grown on the English countryside. They were discovered by Dr. Edward Bach, a noted physician, researcher and naturalist. He knew that one’s attitude toward health and illness is key to personal fulfillment and an overall sense of wellbeing. Bach Flowers are still chosen from the areas Dr. Bach used in the 1920’s and are processed by hand at the peak of their bloom. Bach Flowers have been used for over 70 years to achieve balance in mind, body and spirit by healing professionals and lay people alike. The 38 liquid essences are completely safe and non-addictive. They are appropriate for all folks — pregnant and lactating mothers, infants, teens, adults and seniors. They are a harmless compliment to any other natural and medical healing modality with virtually no side effects.

Bach® Rescue Remedy is the most well known of all the essences. It offers five Bach Flowers in one formula. It is immediately effective in emergency situations and for everyday stress — taking exams, confrontations, living with teenagers, tight schedules, traffic, dealing with challenging people, receiving bad news, etc. It is available in several forms: 10 or 20 ml liquid and the popular, convenient Rescue Remedy Spray. Rescue Sleep includes six essences to calm the mind, making sleep more possible. Rescue Remedy Cream is an easily absorbed cream excellent for soothing irritated skin, minor cuts, bruises, bug bites, muscle massage, chapped lips, sunburn, diaper rash and more!

The Bach Flowers help parents and infants through the birthing process, sleeping patterns, crying, neediness, teething, etc. They can guide children through the formative years, managing body changes, self-esteem, peer pressure, the demands of in-school and after-school responsibilities, and even dealing with the pressures of making mature choices approaching adulthood.

The Bach Flowers can lessen fatigue, anxiety, fear, worry, indecisiveness, sleeplessness, procrastination, anger, resentment, past trauma, overwhelming feelings, detoxifying from illness, negative emotions and more. The Bach Flowers have four essences which deal with depression naturally. It is a pleasure to guide my clients in this simple healing system.
